You're talking about what happens after a person signs a non compete, whereas my point is about what happens before he does (or doesn't) do it.

you say that like everyone had the luxury of making the choice not to sign those deals

Exactly, and I explain why. If you want to argue they don't, I would be thankful if you exposed the error in my reasoning.

>>golerg+9U
my argument is that some people don't, not without going homeless and living out of their car and eating off of EBT (in the US). if the choice was to sign a shitty non-compete, or get evicted, I find it hard to fault someone for signing such a contract. it's not a logic problem with your reasoning but that the reasoning starts from an (imo) unsound place.
